I wouldn't dream of occusing them of originality, however I have to admit that occasionally they show ability to take directions ... well on their way to being house trained.

That's where they all seem to hang out. |

The few you see around here are probably just ex-foilists that have lost their way... case in point, PurpleFencer.

. | INQ knows how to use a computer. His computer may be older than I am, makes him randomnly log out of FDN, and not be able to download attachments, but he does know how to use one.

More proof to why Inq at least shouldn't be a sabreur.
